Global Travel International (GTI) is a travel cheap barcelona hotels agency / business opportunity. Most people are attracted to this company because it allows anyone to become a travel agent without having to take classes. cheap barcelona hotels A few years back before discovering Global Travel International I actually took one of these travel agent classes and it was a very painful experience. It s probably why I stopped going after a while and never graduated .
Global Travel cheap barcelona hotels International claim to fame is that you skip the painful experience of these classes and can become a travel agent by merely paying cheap barcelona hotels a fee. When I first joined it was a flat fee of about $200 and no trial period. At the time of this review their fee was now $29.95 per month which is about $1 a day. But when added up for 12 months you end paying more than what I initially paid a few years ago.
Obviously the reason you want to become a travel agent is that you get commissions on the travel you book for others. Global Travel International claims commissions of up to 90% for their agents. So that s one great thing.
The other wonderful thing about this company which I touched upon earlier is that you don t have to dish out several hundred dollars up front like I did to start your own travel agent business. Nor do you need to rent out an office and pay for expensive training or equipment. The monthly payment plan makes this opportunity available to a greater number of people that don t have a large amount of cash on hand to start a traditional travel agent business. So that s a plus!
A recent improvement with the GlobalTravel.com program has been a 14 day risk free trial which will allows you to become a travel agent for those 14 days but can cancel and receive a refund of your first month s payment within the trial period if you re not satisified. So let s say you decide this opportunity isn t for you. You could still save yourself hundreds of dollars on your next vacation if you decide to book a trip while under the trial membership. How? Travel agents usually cheap barcelona hotels receive discounts of up to 50% on hotel rooms, car rentals and some cruises. So ideally you might as well book a trip and use your travel agent number to get a discount while under the trial period.
Another benefit when you become a GlobalTravel.com agent is that you get your own travel agent website , an official IATA membership card and some marketing material. You re also provided with a very indepth agent only section that has all your training information, additional marketing material, forms and the latest travel agent only deals and trips. So you really do get a lot with your membership.
But for me the best part of the Global cheap barcelona hotels Travel International Travel Agent Business Opportunity was the discounts I received on trips. If you travel a lot then the membership pays for itself many times over with the amount of money you save on hotels and car rentals. It s amazing how much these hotels and car rental places cheap barcelona hotels will cut off the prices for travel agents. Plus if you couple cheap barcelona hotels that with using a credit card that has a relationship with any of these companies you could end up saving up to 50%. Trust me when I say that has added up a lot!
If you re looking to explore this opportunity because of the prospect of making big money and being your own expedia.com then you may be a little dissappointed. I was never really impressed with my travel agent site which was designed for me to book travel arrangements for my clients or for my clients to book travel cheap barcelona hotels arrangements on their own. The site provided tended to be slow and didn t have the best search features that sites like travelocity.com or expedia.com had. But in the last few years they have finally improved that. However it still needs to be tweaked more. It was very frustrating to send my friends and family to my site and to hear well I had a hard time finding good deals. But again, that has improved. So that s one of my major complaints. The site you re provided isn t the most user friendly or intutive like the other travel cheap barcelona hotels sites out there. It s usable now but not the best out there.
In addition to their website not being the most userfriendly, they add insult to injury by tacking on an additional $5 service fee to the price of an airline ticket. So what would happen is that my clients would use the site and then compare prices cheap barcelona hotels with another bigger cheap barcelona hotels travel site and notice my site was charging an additional fee allbeit small. Needless cheap barcelona hotels to say this was always very difficult to explain and I lost some sales because of it. There was a short time they got rid of this fee. But at the time of this review it was back. If anything is a scam about Global Travel International, I guess you could view that $5 proccessing fee as one!
My final complaint about the company is the actual earning potential. This isn t really unique to Global Travel International, it s a problem that most travel agents face today. The fact of the matter is that most people book travel on their own now. There are so many great travel websites out there now that travel agents are becoming an endangered species. cheap barcelona hotels So although the potential to make great money is there with Global Travel Interational the likelihood of doing so will really depend on how good you are as a sales person. I find that people tend to use travel agents when they re planning a big trip with multiple people. If you focus on this niche than you could do very well with GlobalTravel.com. So just keep this in mind.
But for me I realized the biggest benefit of Global Travel International was the discounts I received cheap barcelona hotels as a travel agent. It s pretty much the only reason cheap barcelona hotels I renew every year. I travel almost 3-4 times a year and because I m a travel agent I always get discounts at hotels and my car rentals. I ve saved hundreds of dollars every year and probably several cheap barcelona hotels thousand dollars at this point since I ve been a member for a few years now.
So do I think Global Travel International is a scam or fraud? No not at all. But just be realistic about how much money you can earn as a travel agent. Just think about your own habits. When was the last time you used a travel agent? If you re like most it was because of a big trip with many people or when you had no idea about a place you wanted to visit. If you can tap into the group travel cheap barcelona hotels niche or people who aren t web savvy, then you can make a killing with Global Travel International! Are they perfect? Not really. They still need a lot of work in terms of the website they provide us agents. But I don t really know any company that doesn t have room for improvement. So give Global Travel International a try if you re fine with the good and bad about the company. I ve been a member for years and I ve been very happy with my membership solely on the fact that I get huge discounts on my yearly travel expenses. But you may be more savvy than me and can make it work from an income point of view!
I'm not a mythical creature. +Eddy Salomon is a "REAL" person that actually writes these articles responds to your comments. I've been making money online since 2000 have been blessed to help thousands of others do the same! Hopefully you'll be one of my success stories. I've done the hard work, all you have to do is READ take action. [See Why Folks Trust Me...]
STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!! Once they GET YOU, they will automatically renew you, even if you tell them not to. Then, when you don t pay, they will sick their EVIL collection arm, Monterey Collection, who will use ABUSIVE, ILLEGAL collection tactics trying to get you to pay. Run, do not walk, away from Global Travel. There are plenty of legitimate host travel agencies out there.
Thanks for chiming in. I m sorry to hear about your experience with the company. I ll be honest, I ve never heard anyone else make that accusation. So I don t know if this is some new phenomenon. But for the years I ve been with them, my membership was never automatically renewed. I always had to call them to renew it. So maybe they ve changed their policy. But I would assume they would make this clear.
But I m more concerned with your statement about Global Travel doing forced cheap barcelona hotels renewals. That would be illegal if you ve clearly expressed that you didn t approve it. So that is something you may want to take up with your credit card company.
It would be a shame if this company would be heading down hill. But I ll reserve my judgment until I see a pattern of widespread complaints from numerous people. I would hope this is an isolated incident but nonetheless its not fair to you. So I hope you ll be able to get this resolved one way or another.
They do not do forced renewals .They send out an invoice and cancellation members cheap barcelona hotels 60 days prior to the term ending. It is automatically renewed if you don t cancel, but it is in no way forced. They read a confirmation cheap barcelona hotels of terms (or something like that) script on my sale informing cheap barcelona hotels me of this, and I have had no problem.
Also, I was under the impression that you needed cheap barcelona hotels a license. If the case is that you don t need classes or a license, is it similar to someone asking you to help them book a trip and then just pay you a fee?
I m considering signing up with GTI as my husband and I are planning a family cruise for 18 people. I ve read reviews on other sites where people claim to have been laughed at when showing their GTI travel agent card. Any experiences with this? Also, as an agent with GTI, are you able to view room availability for cruises yourself or does it all go direct through GTI? When you call, say, a hotel, are you able to give them your ID# and get discounts direct? Or does it all go through GTI booking only? I realize you d want to get the commission, just wondering if you could use the ID# direct??
When I book for myself which is usually what I do, I ll visit the hotel s or cruise line direct website and then I enter my IATA number during the booking process. Or I call the direct numbers to see if they offer discounts. That usually pulls up the travel agent
